The location of the hostel is excellent: right in the heart of the historic centre of the city and near restaurants and shops. I booked a bed in a dormitory, and had the place to myself. I don't just mean the dormitory: I seemed to be the only guest staying in the hostel at the time, so had exclusive use of all the facilities, which was an unexpected bonus. The place was clean and well maintained. The facilities included kitchen and fridge, although I couldn't find the washing machine which was mentioned in the instructions on the dormitory wall. The underfloor heating was good in winter: it was actually too warm at night time. The place was mostly quiet, although there was some noise from the street outside. The Internet worked. The staff were unobtrusive.

Stayed here for 3 nights... in my opinion, overpriced and too old! I booked a single room for my stay.

Good points:1) Very accessible by bus2) Good location - lots of restaurants and grocery shops within walking distance3) Hwaseong Fortress is a 10 min walk away

Bad points:1) Overpriced, I paid KRW35,000 a night. I paid KRW30,000 for the Suwon Hostel which is next to the Hwaseong fortress. The rooms are bigger, newer, cleaner and provide more amenities e.g. free use of washing machines, towels, shaver, toothbrush etc.2) Room is very small, about 15sqm3) Room and toilet are both very old4) Airconditioning is old, noisy and does not cool the room5) No towels provided6) Room was very dirty, dead insects lying about on the floor

To wrap it up, I won't come back to this place ever. The Suwon Hostel is much better value for money. I only booked here because they were fully booked at the Suwon Hostel.

it's only 5 minutes walk to Hwaseong Haeng Palace and near the city side of Suwon. there're many restaurants nearby (we tried the snail rice, first place we saw almost opposite the guest house and it's interesting!) we got the private room wtih bathroom. during our stay it was very quiet and the owner was helpful plus it only cost us 30 US dollars. there's also free wifi.

I've stayed here two nights and slept an average of four hours a night because it's noisier than in a dorm room. Walls and doors are paper thin so expect to wake up when the first guests are up having breakfast. One night some guys were watching tv until 3am. Also, there are no curtains which doesn't help either.Finally bring your own towel as none will be provided to you!

From Incheon International Airport, we took the bus to Suwon. Look out for gate 7 for the Suwon bus station. Tell driver that you are getting off At HomePlus Market. Journey takes about 1 hour. We called Mr Choi for pickup at Homeplus Market to guesthouse. The only drawback is that the guesthouse is on the second floor and it doesn't have a lift. So you need to carry your heavy bags up. We originally booked 3 single rooms but Mr Choi suggested that we take 1 single and 1 double that cost us less the amount for 3 single rooms. The double has ensuite bathroom while single rooms uses the common bath outside in the hall. The double room was simple and clean. Love the warm floor as it was cold outside. They have one computer in the hall for free internet access and They also provide free guide by the university student there. It was a good stay even though we only stayed there one night. We will definitely come back again to stay.
